    This tour was outstanding!

    What an incredible tour! Our group was wanting to learn about the indigenous culture and our tour leader, Juan delivered! The entire experience was even more than we had hoped! We learned about the culture, experienced the cacao ceremony, and took a hike through the jungle to learn about some medical plants. To top it off, we saw Howler monkeys with babies.

    This was an amazing experience to see history and an indigenous culture. This is a unique experience to see the traditions of the Maleku Tribe. La Poorna you’ll have multiple tours that offer similar experiences, but this is a unique experience, a honors tradition, and the people of Costa Rica.
